We have over 200 bats in care this season. Many are now entering creche. Your vote helps bat carers pay for food and aviary repairs after the cyclone and flooding.
Happy to end the year with an international feature article on the "Sacred Indian flying foxes" in the Winter edition of the Bat News magazine of @_BCT_ (Issue 132, pg 22-23).
Thanks BCT and @Paru_batminton for the invite.

Only 1 week to go to #InternationalBatNight on 26 August! Have a look at our International Bat Night Pack which you can download here: https://t.co/QIN2Vt80Q1 ! Inside you will find ideas on how to celebrate bats, help bat conservation, further resources and more!
Why should the Spectacled Flying-fox be your selection for Australian Mammal of the Year? Remember its superpower? - One spectacled flying-fox can spread 60,000 seeds per night up to 80km from the parent tree. That helps us all.
